At 28, Cory Martin thought she had it all, a budding career as a writer in Hollywood, an apartment of her own, and a healthy obsession with yoga. But when she found herself on the floor of her apartment wailing into the phone, 'but I don't want to be sick, ' her entire world came crashing down.

A doctor had just revealed that she had Multiple Sclerosis, a potentially debilitating disease, her good friend was getting married that weekend and the only people she wanted to call were her parents. In a time when she was supposed to be coming into her own as an adult, all she could think was who's going to want to marry me now?

As she embarked on a medical quest, subjecting herself to countless MRIs and a painful spinal tap that landed her in the ER, Cory simultaneously threw herself head first into dating. But no matter how many doctors she saw or men she met there would never be a cure for MS. And if you think it's hard to get the guy you're dating to give you a ride to the airport, try getting him to drive you to the hospital. Add to that an unfortunate incident with a blue thong and a cute young doctor, and Cory quickly realized that just as there was no concrete method to diagnose and treat the disease, there was no surefire way to find "the one."

Love Sick is a smart and witty account of dating while navigating a life of uncertain health. Writing from a place of strength and vulnerability, Cory Martin faces her fears head on with humor and grace. Her tales are true to life and relatable. There is no magical ending and no grand epiphany. Instead it is her desire to be loved and feel normal that makes her journey so poignant.

Editorial Reviews

Review

As someone who lives with MS, one of the greatest gifts someone can give you is representation - And Cory does just that. She captures the ups and downs of life in your 30's while managing a diagnosis, and does it with humor, grace and fun. She shows us how it should be done. I loved every second of this book! - Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Unflinchingly honest and vulnerable, Martin's book says all the things people need to hear and few are brave enough to voice. Full of humor, absurd situations, and wry observations, her story inspires us to never stop looking for love. - Stephanie Savage, co-creator Gossip Girl

Many women spend their thirties trying to get settled in their careers, friendships, and love lives, Cory Martin spent hers trying to do all that while dealing with an insane medical curveball. An incredible story told with honesty, humor, and hope. - Leila Gerstein, creator Hart of Dixie

Love Sick is one of those books you start reading and can't put down. Cory Martin's story is told in a raw, honest, and raucous manner. She had me laughing out loud and crying all in one sitting. - Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy, Amazon Studios

I expected Cory Martin's memoir about a girl's diagnosis and struggle with multiple sclerosis to be heart-breaking, but I didn't expect it to also be a hilarious, hip, and sexy trip through her adventures in dating and her unjaded quest for true love. You'll cry but more importantly you'll laugh. - Marianne Wibberley, writer Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, National Treasure

Cory Martin's Love Sick is not just a harrowing and humorous journey of a woman dealing with a medical curveball, it's an inspiration to open your heart and live life to the fullest. A great read. - Pam Davis, writer House, Secrets & Lies, Gone

Candid, wise, funny, heartbreaking and ultimately inspirational: in an unpredictable world, Cory Martin's Love Sick reminds us of what really matters. - Matt Ward, writer Madam Secretary, Suburgatory, My Name Is Earl
